Germany’s Physical Technical Institute (PTB) has approved 79 Jenoptik’s TraffiStar S350 laser scanner system for the German market. The approval enables the company’s Traffic Solutions division to provide police and local authorities in Germany with a fixed speed enforcement system that uses non-invasive sensors instead of in-road loops or piezos.

The TraffiStar S350 is housed in the specially-designed TraffiTower, enabling the system to be used for a range of applications, including on road bends or obscured road situations and tunnels.

The camera is able to monitor traffic in both directions and across several lanes simultaneously, distinguishing between cars and trucks and providing lane and vehicle class data. Camera and flash technologies developed by Jenoptik ensure accurate image capture for unambiguous identification of drivers and licence plates.

“With the approval of the laser scanner system Jenoptik is the only manufacturer in the world offering all important sensor technologies for traffic monitoring. This allows Jenoptik to offer its customers in Germany and the rest of the world customised technologically flexible solutions,” says Michael Mertin, CEO of Jenoptik.
